Yun Xuansu asked with a smile, "That Senior Brother Lu was shouted by you, Senior Brother Guo!" ”

Guo Hong nodded and said, "Yes, the fog in the pool is too big, and we seem to see Senior Brother Lu in the distance, so we called twice." ”

Several women interrogated for a while, but the three brothers and sisters all got the right tone and resolutely said that they didn't know.

That's it......

I can't wait to say that I don't know Lu Yu.

That night, Lu Yu didn't show up.

The next day, after Guo Hong and Lu Zhizhen got up, the man said that someone was looking for him, and when he went out of the store, he saw a tall man hiding under a big tree in the distance.

Guo Hong walked over with a smile and asked, "Where does Senior Brother stay at night?" ”

Lu Yu's face turned red and said, "Did you explain what happened yesterday for me?" ”

"Explained, but Senior Sister Yun and Senior Sister He both believe that seeing is believing, so you can admit it, go and apologize, it's not a big deal to peek at girls taking a bath, many people have done it." Lu Zhizhen nodded.

Lu Yu looked at Guo Hong and was skeptical: "Really? ”

Guo Hong also nodded seriously.

Lu Yu said: "Okay, then you can help me find out the wind first." ”

An hour later, Lu Yu was admonished by four women in the hall.

His back was hunched.

"I really didn't make that doll." Lu Yu could only repeat this sentence repeatedly.

"And if there is a hole in the bathroom, it must not be Senior Brother Lu's doing." Guo Hong helped him speak.

"He arrived in Yuezhou a few days earlier, how do you know it's not him?" Hongdou crossed his waist and said, there are some things He Qiong does through the maid, and he doesn't want to be too fierce.

Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "The hole is too low, I'm tall, if I do it, I have to be at least a head taller." ”

Guo Hong also said: "Yes, that doll is just a cover-up, mainly to hide the mirror." The mirror is made up of two polished crystals that magnify the scene. The position of the cave is just right for a person who is slightly taller than ordinary people to squat, if it is Senior Brother Lu, he needs to kneel, but the corridor is very narrow, and he needs to turn sideways for a person of his size, isn't that too awkward? If you stand in the water, the hole is too high. ”

Yun Xuansu thought for a while and nodded: "We also have a doll here, I thought it was to attract wealth, so it seems that it is all to cover up this crystal, so someone is peeping, Lu Yu just happened to run into it in the past?" ”

"yes, someone walked away."

Lu Yu was suddenly stunned after speaking, why is that person's back so familiar?

He didn't dare to think about it.

Should......

No way.

"Okay, forgive you for now." He Qiong said.

"You went to the Assassin's Mansion last night?" Yun Xuansu asked.

Lu Yu squirmed and said, "No, I'...... I stayed at a courtesan in the village. It's not what you think, we didn't do anything, we just sleep......"

Didn't do anything......

Is it sleeping?

Sounds a little weird.

Lu Yu saw that everyone looked strange, and added: "It's the little lady who took a bath with you yesterday, her name is Bai Peony, and she is only thirteen years old!" If you don't believe me, ask ......."

Or a young girl......

"She knows you?" Yun Xuansu smiled a little strangely.

"I saw it when I first arrived in Yuezhou, and I also drove away a few green-skinned scoundrels who harassed her. It's just that the name hasn't been passed. Lu Yu said.

Heroes save beauty!

Wang Dudu nodded: "No wonder I kept asking your name yesterday." ”

Lang love concubine?

"And now she knows what your name is?" Yun Xuansu said again.

"No, no, I remembered that Senior Brother Guo said that there are four ways to write Hui characters, so I fooled her with the name of the Hui Taoist."

Huidao?

Well, that's how the name came from.

also said that it was not Lu Dongbin!

The more Guo Hong looked at Lu Yu, the more interesting he felt.

……

Everyone packed up and set off together to go to the Assassin's Mansion.

When Li Yuan heard that Yun Xuansu was an elder of the Wangwu and Lu Zhizhen was a disciple of Liu Yuanjing, the emperor of the two dynasties, he was immediately impressed.

Guo Hong continued to follow Lu Yu's instructions, imitating Zhong Liquan's uninhibited style, being able to sit and never stand, and lying down and never sitting.

This is very much in line with the appetite of this Li Tingshi, everyone is lazy...... People who are good at wine will be happy for a while.

Guo Hong found that there were really few people in the Tang Dynasty who didn't like to drink, even girls.

The difference is only in the amount of alcohol.

Because.

In later generations, this wine was a drink with an alcohol content of less than 4%.

The day passed quickly, and everyone stayed in the Assassin's Mansion that night.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Guo Hong got up and went out of the house to practice boxing, when he saw Lu Yu walking back and forth in the courtyard of the guest room.

"Senior brother got up so early." Guo Hong said hello, because he stayed overnight in the Assassin's Mansion, he didn't remove his makeup, and he still dressed up as Zhong Liquan.

"Senior brother came just in time, follow me to step on it." Lu Yu's face was overjoyed, and he picked up Guo Hong and left.

"Step on what? It's not a thief! Guo Hong asked as he walked.

"Which Dao method in this world doesn't need to be prepared in advance? In this practice, we must first find the source of the evil element, otherwise we will be in a hurry at that time, and I am afraid that I will see through the truth. ”

Guo Hong nodded, the Dao method is similar to the magic of the later generations, and it really needs to be prepared, of course, his hand discharge light is an outlier and cannot be counted among them.

He followed Lu Yu to check quietly in the back house of the Assassin's Mansion, these two people had extremely high martial arts, they walked almost without sound, and they were also vigilant, and they were never discovered.

Lu Yu introduced as he walked that Li Yuan's wife passed away the year before last, and his daughter also fell ill and went to Junshan, and now there are only two young sons in this back house, and there are no female dependents.

"That's Susu's boudoir, let's go in and check it out." Lu Yu and Guo Hong quietly sneaked into a courtyard, where the door was deeply locked and the grass was green.

The two checked separately, the rooms in the courtyard were not locked, Lu Yu went to the master's room, and Guo Hong came to the side room where the maid lived next to him.

He pushed the door open and felt a little eerie about it: "It's ......"

In the corner of the room was a half-human-tall statue with a hideous look on its green face and fangs, very similar to the puppet made by Zhong Liquan.

He went to look for Lu Yu, but when he entered the main house, he didn't find it, so he whispered: "Senior Brother Lu! ”

According to Lu Zhizhen's proposal, since yesterday, Lu Zhizhen has been called Senior Brother, and the word Senior Brother Lu is unique to Lu Yu.

The house was unoccupied for a while, the windows were closed, there was a musty smell, and the room was very dark.

Guo Hong walked in and turned to the bedroom next to him, only to see the candlestick lit and a figure standing there, so he called out again, but did not respond.

He walked up and saw that it was a wooden frame with clothes hanging on it, and from the outside it looked like a person standing......

At this time, a yin wind blew into his neck, Guo Hong laughed secretly in his heart, and then he pondered the imbalance in his heart, and wanted to take revenge and scare me?

I kind of understand, if there is a teacher, there must be an apprentice, Lu Yu has been with Zhong Liquan for a long time, and he will also play tricks on people.

Guo Hong suddenly had a face on the back of his head, which was also the appearance of Zhong Liquan, and he couldn't tell the truth from the fake in the dark room!

Lu Yu was startled, then came to his senses and pulled the mask.

Guo Hong took a step out of the way to dodge, the clothes on his body shook, his back turned into a chest, and the mouth that should be a mask suddenly spoke: "Senior brother, it's not a fake face!" ”

He was out of place without knowing it.

Lu Yu laughed and said, "What kind of Taoism is this, interesting!" Interesting! ”

"Go back and teach you, follow me first, there is a discovery!"

The two returned to the room where the statue was found, and Lu Yu said: "This is exactly what happened!" It's Yaksha Mud Lamb! ”

He walked over to the statue known as the Mud Lan Po, searched up and down, and kept pulling the protrusions of the wood carving with his hands.

Click.

Finally, a small red bead was pulled out.

Lu Yu twisted his fingertips and said, "Can't be wrong, this is a blood bead." ”

"What's the use of this thing?"

"It is said that it can be combined to refine a kind of magic potion, which can greatly enhance the power, and they call it Jia Gongxing."

Lu Yu turned around and walked out, and Guo Hong followed out.

"It's easy to find the source, and the altar will be opened in a while."

The two returned to the guest room to gather everyone, and Lu Yu asked, "Who among you has learned the Demon Elimination Dao Method?" It took three people to do it. ”

Lu Zhizhen saw that everyone was looking at him, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother, my mind has been on beast control in the past few years, and I haven't learned this spell. ”

Yun Xuansu smiled slightly and said, "Senior sister can barely do it." ”

He Qiong looked at Lu Zhizhen and shook his head, senior brother is so embarrassed.

Lu Yu said to Yun Xuansu: "In this case, please ask Senior Sister for help, Senior Brother Guo will say according to the discussion, you wait a minute, I will go to ask my uncle now." ”

After speaking, he left in a hurry, and came back with Li Yuan after a while.

Li Yuan asked, "I don't know where Zhongli Refiner is going to do it?" ”

Guo Hong replied: "Set up an altar in the courtyard where the little lady lived." ”

"Okay, just follow the refiner."

So Li Yuan instructed his subordinates to build a simple earthen platform half a foot high in Li Susu's courtyard, with a square foot square, and put it on the table.

Cao Shouzhen arranged all the things that Lu Yu bought yesterday, grabbed a live chicken and killed it on the spot, and poured chicken blood all over an empty bowl.

Guo Hong had already changed into a formal robe, draped his hair loose, and began to practice on the altar.

Of course, he is now dressed as Zhong Liquan.

I saw him walking with a sword, and there were words in his mouth: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Taishang Laojun will soon appear ...... Five thunder generals, train generals, soar to the ground, drive thunder and clouds, fight tens of millions, command the gods, open the flag and call urgently, no stops. Haste as a law!

Yun Xuansu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, a good exorcism spell, what is it with these words in front of it?

Li Yuan had seen many cultivators practicing the Fa, and he had never seen anyone change their words indiscriminately according to the Taoist rituals, so he couldn't help but look at the cousin beside him.

Lu Yu knew what his uncle was thinking, and explained: "Master is a man of immortals and has great mana, so he can invite gods without following ordinary spells. ”

Guo Hongshen babbled and performed, suddenly danced his sword, and finally stopped suddenly, and the tip of the sword pointed at the room where the statue was hidden.

"The monster that harmed Li Susu is in that room!" He shouted.

Cao Shouzhen stepped forward and kicked open the door according to the prior agreement, and everyone followed Guo Hong in.

Guo Hong walked with the sword, and finally stopped in front of the wood carving and asked, "What is this?" ”

Li Yuan asked the servants beside him, only to know that this was the room of Xiao Mercury, the maid who served Li Susu.

He continued to inquire about the origin of the statue, and the servant replied, "Don't you remember?" This was given by the monk in the temple on the way to Yuezhou, and it was the Yaksha at the feet of the Heavenly King! ”

Li Yuan listened to the servant's words, and then remembered that there was indeed such a thing, when their family passed by a temple in Henan, they used to spend the night there.

The Li family firmly believes in Buddhism, so it is natural to offer incense, worship Buddha, and offer incense.

His two sons, who were young and ignorant, asked the monks in the prison for the wood carvings piled up in the corners of the monastery.

The monk said that these wood carvings were all fragments of previous Buddha statues, and that when Wuzong destroyed the Buddha, most of the temples in the world were closed, and the Buddha statues inside were stripped of gold leaf and painted, and all of them were destroyed.

The temple was not spared, and the statues of the Buddha that are now enshrined are all newly made, and the wood carvings they see are the remains of the Buddha statues that have been cleaned up.

Later, when they were leaving, the monk gave one of the more complete wood carvings to the children of the Li family.

"How come the wood carvings are here?" Li Yuan asked.

"The two little Langjun were tired of playing and threw them in the yard, and then Xiao Mercury begged the little lady to invite the wood carving back and enshrine it in his room, and asked me to help carry it at that time."

Li Yuan said to Guo Hong: "Are you sure that this is what harmed my daughter?" ”

Guo Hong nodded and pointed with his hand, and a black gas came out of the wood carving, emitting an unpleasant fishy smell.

Then he said, "If you don't believe me, bring your daughter here and ask her if what she saw in her dream is the same as this!" ”

Li Yuan completely believed it when he smelled the fishy smell, and was furious, so he asked the servant to move the wood carving to the courtyard, and then ordered someone to go to Junshan to bring Su Su, Xiao Mercury and others.

Guo Hong and the others were all around the wood carving, He Qiong and the three girls did not participate, and they felt that the smoke was very novel, so they couldn't help but whisper.

Li Yuan found an axe to chop wood and wanted to chop the wood carving.

Lu Yu hurriedly stopped and said, "No, you still need to exorcise evil spirits before you can destroy them." ”

"In this way, there will be Lao Zhongli refiner!"

Li Yuan suppressed his anger, said a word to Guo Hong, and asked the servant to bring a chair to sit in the distance.

Lu Yu turned around and came to the wood carving, quietly turned the mechanism, waved his sleeves to dispel the smell, and Yun Xuansu also sat cross-legged.

Guo Hong said loudly: "When a certain family is doing the law, don't get close to within three feet, otherwise it will be troublesome to be possessed by evil demons!" ”

He said to Lu Yu again: "Come here, apprentice, and go to see your cousin together." ”

Lu Yu pretended to lower his voice, but controlled it so that Li Yuan could hear: "Cousin is here? ”

"She has the same dream every day, there must be a part of her soul trapped in it, otherwise she will hide in Junshan, how can she continue to suffer from this?"

Lu Yu nodded heavily and sat down beside Guo Hong.

Guo Hong saw that Yun Xuansu was ready, so he followed what Lu Yu had taught: "Put your hand on the wood carving, and the other hand needs to touch the person next to you." ”

So the three of them formed a circle, and they all touched the statue with one hand and held each other with the other.

Cao Shouzhen and the others were three feet away.

Li Yuan couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that the three of them had been sitting upright around the wood carving, motionless.

After more than half an hour, the wood carving suddenly lit up, then cracked open, emitting a puff of white smoke to form a huge yaksha head, and then howled and dissipated into the air.

Li Yuan stood up in surprise, pointing to the statue and trembling, but he couldn't speak.

Guo Hong and the three of them opened their eyes one after another, but they all sat still, as if they were sorting out their thoughts.

In the end, Guo Hong was the first to get up, laughed and said to Li Yuan who came over on the side: "We have already eliminated that demon, so that love will be restored from now on!" ”

When Li Yuan heard the great joy, he hurriedly bowed his head, he had seen all kinds of abnormalities just now, and he believed it in his heart, and said: "Thank you so much for the help of the two refiners!" Li prepared a banquet, please come with me......"

"Wonderful, the wine worms in the stomach of a certain family are screaming!" Guo Hong said with a smile.

"Knowing that the refiner is good at wine, Li specially ordered someone to open two jars of 'Sangluo' for 20 years, and he will not return if he is not drunk today!"

He and this 'Zhongli Immortal Master' are both good drinkers, so they are naturally very close, and everyone is talking and laughing while coming to a courtyard.

This is the back garden of the Thorn Mansion, the scenery is also excellent in Yuezhou (Yueyang), the center is a pond water, surrounded by weeping willows, the pond side of the green grass, flowers.

On the other side of the courtyard is a bamboo forest, in front of which a row of fine houses is built with bamboo, and the banquet is spread out under the corridor of this house.

Li Yuan believes in Buddhism, and there are naturally Buddha statues enshrined in the ashram.

Today's banquet is all from the Taoist Gate, so he asked people to lay out reed mats outside the house and put a circle of tables, so that the curtain is like stepping into the green, which is also unique.

At this time, it is early summer (the fifth month of the lunar calendar), and it is a sunny day, the sun is shining, and you don't feel cool when you sit on the ground.

The pond water ripples in the distance, the willow trees on the shore are swaying and colorful, and the breeze is refreshing, blowing the bamboo rustling.

Everyone sat down around the desk, and the servants served wine and food.

Li Yuan sat on the main seat, Guo Hong was next to him, and Yun Xuansu, Lu Zhizhen, Cao Shouzhen, He Qiong, and Lu Yu were accompanied.

Yun Xuansu's five servants had different identities and were treated in other courtyards.

Wang Du knelt behind Yun Xuansu, and Hongdou also accompanied He Qiong, and they couldn't go to the main table as attendants.

Li Yuan raised his glass and thanked him: "Today, there are all the refiners who have worked to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate demons, and Li Mou has five hearts, so I will do it first here as a respect!" ”

After he finished speaking, he drank it all, and Zhong Liquan and the others drank it together.

Lu Yu also knelt up straight, held the wine glass and said, "This time, thanks to the help of Master and Senior Sister Yun, I was able to save my cousin, and Sogo is here to thank you!" ”

Guo Hong laughed and said: "Okay, okay, so you thank me and I thank you, it's all raw, let's have a drink together!" ”

Everyone raised their glasses together, Guo Hong dressed up as a big-bellied loose man and gag, and from time to time he conjured something out of thin air, and the atmosphere quickly became warm.

After three rounds of wine, the servant brought two sealed jars.

"This is the famous wine Sangluo that Li bought from the river 20 years ago, and he has been sealed and reluctant to drink it, and today he should taste the wine!"

Li Yuan's face was slightly red because he drank some wine, and he stood up and personally opened one of the jars.

The wine that everyone drank before was green, somewhat cloudy, and sweeter in the mouth, similar to the mountain fruit wine made by farmers in the mountains in later generations, with a very low degree, so women, children and children could drink it.

Sangluo wine is a famous product in the river, and the taste is very similar to rice wine.

The government of Hezhong Mansion is Lu Yu's hometown of Puzhou, Shanxi (Puzhou Town, Yongji County).

Li Yuan asked the servant to warm the wine first, and then poured it for everyone.

The heated mulberry wine is amber, crystal clear and very beautiful, Guo Hong took a sip and felt a little rushed.

"The world's good things are yellow wine, and the world's idlers are white waiters!" Li Yuan took a sip of admiration, and he recited Bai Juyi's poems.

Guo Hong turned his head to tease Lu Yu: "This wine is from your hometown?" I don't know how to be a teacher! ”
